"I'm not the average girl from your video, my worth is not determined by the price of my clothes." Okay, okay I promise to stop singing (at least until I make my point! Hee hee hee. *Shifty eyes*.) Okay, so why am I in such a good mood if I'm a bit ticked? Well, I'm not sure, but I'll certainly share with y'all why I'm so upset!

Today is so great because I have an entire afternoon of relaxing at home. So of course, I decide to check out what's going on around Whyville. Totally normal, right? Wrong!

I give myself a quick make-over and am ready to spend a night (okay, an afternoon, but let's not get too technical) on the town. First stop: the beach. I don't see any familiar faces, so I head off to the Sportplatz. (This is where it starts to get interesting.)

There's two guys at Da Platz. (There's actually more than that, but only these two are important. And technically, only one of them made me that mad, but we're being technical!) These two guys are talking about this girl that's in a really bad mood (hey, they're guys!). One of the guys wasn't wearing a shirt!

Okay, so you're thinking, what's so wrong with a guy without a shirt on? Well, I'll start out by admitting I reported the guy. I mean, who wants to see guys walk around without a shirt on?

There were lots of people in the Sportplatz who thought I was nuts and who laughed at me for telling a guy that I was gonna report him for this. I asked the guy why girls shouldn't be allowed to and he told me because girls have something to hide.

Newsflash! Guys should wear shirts, too!

In restaurants and many other places, they won't serve you if you're not wearing a shirt. It's just common courtesy. And I mean, why would you wanna go into a public place without a shirt on?

Something that has always seemed a little silly to me is that guys are allowed to walk around without a shirt. Not all guys are buff. Some are super hairy or extremely obese (not to mention that there are old guys...)! Why should I have to see that if I don't want to?

Some guys think that they can be overweight but they insist that girls have to be skinny and beautiful. Am I the only one who sees the total injustice in that?! It's just not the way it should be.

It's my belief that guys should wear shirts, too. Why would they be the exception to the rule?

Anywho, this Giggler01 leaving, and keeping her shirt on.
